Chapter 38: Dominating the Hot Search Lists, the Pink Girls Unite for Business

Jin Li scrolled through the messages starting from the very first one. This group chat felt a bit like a formal work notification group; it was quite serious.

Lianhua: [Baozhi was called for reshoots this morning. Looks like the trailer will be out soon.]

Chen Lin: [That's quite efficient.]

Yan Xingdong: [Survival shows need that kind of efficiency. Two survival shows are competing against each other at the same time!]

Jin Li finished scrolling through all the messages and saw Ji Qinglian asking if the March Sky boy group should repost the program trailer once it went live.

Yan Xingdong: [Yes, if there are requirements in that regard, we should do some promotion.]

Chen Lin: [Yes.]

Luo Yi: [Yes.]

Jinli: [I don't have any requirements in that regard [laugh-cry], but I'll follow the crowd. Count me in!]

A moment later, a new message popped up in the group chat.

Gu Cheng: [Count me in.]

The trailer for the second episode of the program was released even faster than Jin Li had imagined.

She had only taken a short nap of about ten minutes and intended to wake herself up by doing some practice problems to replenish her energy, but she was suddenly @-ed by Ji Qinglian in the group chat.

Lianhua: [The Episode 2 trailer is out! Here's the link!]

She also shared this information in the Cosmic Girls group chat.

Jin Li first clicked the link to take a look.

The trailer was about three minutes long and was split into two parts. Her stage appeared in the first part.

The production team was being quite considerate to Jin Li.

Not only did they preserve her stage in its entirety, but they also featured her in the trailer, clearly intending to use her performance as a key promotional highlight.

More importantly, after her segment ended, the footage showed Ji Qinglian shouting and cheering for her desperately from below the stage.

The trailer had only been uploaded for ten minutes, but the comments under the blog post had already surpassed a thousand.

[Ahhh, Pink Girls reunion!!]

[When will the other four appear together? Can someone please invite them to a show together, ughhh.]

[My Lianlian baby and my Jinli baby~]

[Pink Girls? What kind of group is this? Why do the comments always mention them? They're overshadowing March Sky's popularity!]

As Jin Li was reading the comments, another @ notification popped up on WeChat.

Opening it, she saw that the other members of Pink Girls had already prepared their captions and had begun uploading them one by one.

Jin Li broke into a cold sweat. How did it feel like everyone was at the forefront of the gossip?

Opening the blog again, Jin Li watched the little red notification dot on her private messages remain motionless; once it hit 99+, it wouldn't show a specific number anymore.

However, she had a strange feeling that netizens were constantly sending her private messages, and at the same time, her blog repost count was skyrocketing.

And her previous blog post seemed to have been a piece of promotion she did for the Cat Paw livestream room.

Jin Li returned to the topic square on her phone.

Without even needing to search, all the posts from the members of Pink Girls had been pinned to the trending searches.

Ji Qinglian: [Cheering for the youngest, cutest, and most hardworking little baby in the team. It's so wonderful that you can stand on the stage again! @Jin Li]

Yu Lina: [Yo yo yo, our youngest is out working too! Cheering for her @Jin Li]

Qiguan Mingzhu: [Jin Li is still as cute as ever, her singing skills have improved @Jin Li]

Gong Zitong: [I can't wait to see your full stage. What kind of plot twist happened exactly? Ahhh, please update soon @Jin Li]

Xi Mengze: [@Jin Li, let's make a deal. Let's have a private little get-together, and you can perform it just for me~]

Each member's blog post had secured its own trending topic, and there was also a group trending topic—

#Pink Girls back in business after three years!#

Even without clicking on it, Jin Li knew exactly how the netizens were feeling under that trending topic.

She clicked "Compose," wrote a paragraph of text, edited it for a long time, and finally hit send.

Jin Li: [A new starting point, a brand new beginning, I'm back! Thank you all for your support. The stage was great! @Ji Qinglian @Yu Lina @Qiguan Mingzhu @Gong Zitong @Xi Mengze]

Netizens rushed to comment

[How can she be so deserving! How can she be so deserving!!]

[I declare it: "PICK~ Next Station Diva," right? I am definitely watching Episode 2. I ship it so hard!]

[The production team is failing! Since they put Ji Qinglian and Jin Li in the same frame, why haven't they arranged the other members yet? I've already prepared the next traffic code for you, why aren't you acting?]

Jin Li didn't look at the blog comments anymore. After exiting, she sent a "[Sent]" message in the group, then copied it into the March Sky work group. After telling Sui Lingfang about it, she headed to the Domi Company.

Sui Lingfang had returned to the company at noon to handle some work.

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly received a message from Jin Li, and her expression changed instantly.

She had a premonition that she would likely be forced to work overtime tonight.

Sui Lingfang went onto the blog to check the trending topic Jin Li mentioned. Pink Girls "reunited" for business after three years, which had unearthed a massive amount of nostalgic old fans, and the search volume for Jin Li was skyrocketing.

This level of heat was comparable to the "Jin Li won 200,000" incident.

A few seconds later, her phone rang; it was Zou Da calling.

After hanging up, Sui Lingfang immediately rushed to her office, calling Jin Li on the way.

Jin Li answered quickly.

"I won't be able to come over this afternoon. I need to check your trending heat, manage the comments, and select a batch of suitable endorsements for you."

Sui Lingfang spoke hurriedly, emphasizing, "If you don't feel well, don't push yourself. You must rest. I'll call the photographer in a bit and give her instructions."

Jin Li said obediently, "Okay."

When she arrived at the Domi Company, Jin Li found that every staff member was staring at her with burning eyes. Was this the power brought by the trending search?

The photographer came forward to coordinate with Jin Li. She had received Sui Lingfang's instructions to keep an eye on Jin Li's physical condition throughout the afternoon.

"By the way, Teacher Jin Li, are you very close with the March Sky boy group?"

Jin Li was stunned. "Huh? Just ordinary acquaintances, we can exchange a few greetings. Why do you ask?"

The photographer said, "Don't you know? The March Sky boy group all cheered for you!"

Jin Li really didn't know about this.

It wasn't until the photographer opened the blog and handed it to her that Jin Li realized that while Gu Cheng and the others were promoting the show, they had also included her name!

She was a bit dazed; this was quite a large favor to owe!

Taking out her phone to open the group chat, Jin Li finally understood what had happened.

It turned out that when she had sent the "[Sent]" message to the work group earlier, Gu Cheng had seen it, clicked on her blog to look, and then conveniently copied a portion of it.

He didn't copy much, just the sentence that followed.

Gu Cheng: [The Episode 2 trailer for "PICK~ Next Station Diva" is out. The stage is beautiful @Jin Li]

Chen Lin followed suit, and then Yan Xingdong asked in the group what was going on with the two of them.

Chen Lin: [Just following Gu Cheng's lead.]

Gu Cheng: [Ah, I copied it wrong. No, I typed it wrong. I shouldn't have @-ed Teacher Jin Li separately.]

Yan Xingdong: [Sweat]

Luo Yi: [Sweat]

Qinglian: [Covers mouth and giggles]

Jinli: [Covers mouth and giggles]

And so, the mistake was made.

Jinli: [Let's all get together when we have time. My treat! Thank you all for helping me promote~]

After sending this message, Jin Li put down her phone and focused on her work.

The afternoon was for shooting a dynamic advertisement, which was also related to "Jinli Luck." It told the story of a Koi Fairy falling to the mortal realm and transforming through various "Koi Makeup" looks.

Goodnight~ PS: Please keep reading!
